In what Wiltshire schools did they teach that Cardiff is in England?

I didn't suggest Cardiff was in England, i meant that when the England play in England, it often rains.

[J10]

Of course the ECB stands for the England and Wales Cricket Board.

I didn't suggest Cardiff was in England, i meant that when the England play in England, it often rains.

Also when England play in Wales it often rains.

[Methuselah]

Sunday 21C

Monday 20C

Even if it is dry tomorrow I don't think they'll start on time because Edgbaston's outfield was sodden last week even before the weekend's rain and now today's deluge!

Day 1 = 20c

Day 2 = 20c

Day 3 = 18c

Day 4 = 20c

Day 5 = 19c

Time lost = 650 mins

[J10]

Day 1 = 18c

Day 2 = 19c

Day 3 = 20c

Day 4 = 20c

Day 5 = 18c

There may be more lost than this, but I'm being cagey.
